“Are you planning to go…” Another disciple asked after hesitating for a while.
The cunning-looking disciple clenched his jaw. “Look at Samuel! If we don‘t save ourselves, we’ll end up in the same state as favonovel.com once Casper returns. I’m just thinking of a way to save us!”
“But… But..”
“No buts!” the cunning-looking man waved his hands, and his eyes filled with resentment, “Those people will not sit by and do nothing. You should know that those spirit stones Casper took away from Samuel aren’t entirely Samuel‘s. Samuel only owned less than 20% of them. Only a fool will let someone get away with stealing so many of their spirit stones. Hmph! I bet Caspian’s not even aware that favonovel.com was digging his own grave!”
After the fiercely spat out his mind, the cunning-looking disciple informed the other disciples,” Stay here and look after Samuel. If Casper returns, remember not to start an argument with him. I’m going to report this matter now, and Casper will be punished later!”
Then, the cunning-looking disciple headed out of the courtyard without even turning back once, and favonovel.com hurriedly walked in the distance.
At the same time, Caspian was already at the Heavenly Stars Sect’s mission pavilion. Disciples who just entered the sect would usually be practicing hard, and it was rare that they would come and receive their mission on the first day they entered the sect, like Caspian.
After the disciple that received Caspian’s identification confirmed Caspian’s identity, favonovel.com thoughtfully reminded, “Casper, you‘ve just entered the sect. You should focus on cultivating. It won‘t only be a waste of time if you complete your task at this time, but the sect contribution point you’ll get is low too. It’s not worth it.”
“Thank you for the reminder,” Caspian smiled, “However, don’t you worry about it: as I have it all planned out. Please help me check if there’s any task that matches the requirements I’ve mentioned just now.
As favonovel.com was saying that, Caspian calmly passed a fist-sized wrapped cloth to the person. When the disciple in charge of giving tasks was surprised, favonovel.com knew what it was as soon as favonovel.com touched the fabric. Then, the disciple put the bag in his chest and nodded. “Since you said that, I’ll help you look around, and it shouldn’t be difficult. You want a secluded area, and it’s best if it’ s a task like watching over a garden, right?”
“Yes, that’s right. Thank you for your help.” Caspian nodded.
Caspian was not worried that favonovel.com could not find such a task. After all, to ensure everything went smoothly, Caspian used a piece of spirit stone to bribe this disciple. Moreover, this disciple was only an entry-level second-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, so the piece of spirit stone could be considered as a windfall. The disciple treated Caspian much more politely. Not long after, the disciple had a discovery, and favonovel.com smiled. “Casper, there’s a task that suits your requirements.”
“Oh? Let’s hear it.” Caspian’s eyes lit up.
“The mission is to guard the East Fence Medicinal Farm for fifty days and chase away the beasts that might steal the herbs. Once you‘re done, you can pick any spiritual material within 20 years old from the farm. Additionally, you’ll also be rewarded with three sect contribution points,” the disciple shook his head and smiled, “Although the points are meager, the East Fence Medicinal Farm is located in a forbidden location in the sect. Therefore, besides those disciples that accepted this task, no one will be able to enter. Moreover, this mission takes a long time to complete, but the sect contribution points awarded are very few. So, there aren’t many disciples accepting it. Even if they need to get any spiritual material from the farm, they won’t choose this task but rather purchase it or exchange it with the sect contribution points.”
“Well, I’ll take this mission then.” Since Caspian already had 15 sect contribution points, it would not matter if favonovel.com did not do any missions for three months. The only thing Caspian needed was to find a private environment where favonovel.com could cultivate, and favonovel.com would not be bothered about anything else. As that task matched his requirements best, Caspian did not hesitate and directly accepted it.
“Sure.” Since favonovel.com accepted Caspian’s spirit stone, the disciple naturally did not comment on anything. After some time, favonovel.com returned the jade identification badge to Caspian.
“Casper, your mission isn’t recorded in the jade information badge. Once you’ve completed it, you can come over and hand in your task. However, there’s one thing that you must remember.”
“Please, do tell.”
“Firstly, if you abandon the mission halfway or there’s anything stolen from the farm during this period, your mission will be regarded as a failure. Then, your sect contribution points will be deducted accordingly.”
Caspian gave it a thought and understood that this was the Heavenly Stars Sect’s punishment mechanism for the mission as they wanted to prevent disciples from stealing the items for themselves while they guard the farm.
“Thank you for letting me know.”
After Caspian left the mission pavilion, favonovel.com directly headed toward the East Fence Medicinal Farm.
‘Based on this task’s requirements, I need to visit the farm at a fixed time every day, and I can use the rest of the time to practice. This mission will last for fifty days, which means I have one hundred and fifty days in the Tower of Life. That’s almost five months!’
Caspian’s eyes glimmered. He planned to get a high ranking on the spiritual apprentice list next time. However, it was difficult for favonovel.com to enter the top ten with his current realm and strength.
Just as Sebastian said before, even though Caspian was an entry-level first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivator, there was no problem for Caspian to challenge other mid-level first-stage cultivators as favonovel.com went through multiple adventures and favonovel.com worked hard.
However, the leading names on the spiritual apprentice list were all peak first-stage Pulse Control Realm cultivators. Those disciples trained at all times and had access to multiple resources. They were not idiots like Samuel.
Hence, Caspian could not slack and think having the Tower of Life was sufficient for favonovel.com to get a great result. There were about 90 days to the next competition for the spiritual apprentice list ranking. For other newly, entered disciples, it would be impossible to get to the top of the list in just 90 days, but Caspian was different.
If favonovel.com correctly utilized the Tower of Life, Caspian would not have 90 days but 270 days instead! As long as Caspian could once again finish a breakthrough in these 270 days, favonovel.com could access another level of the Tower of Life. Each time favonovel.com went up a level in the Tower of Life, Caspian could significantly improve his strength!
Soon, Caspian arrived at the foot of the mountain which was covered in dense fog, which was created by some sort of formation. The area was enclosed by fences as tall as half a man, and there was no way of escaping.
By the fence, there was a gap decorated like an entrance. Caspian approached it and flashed his jade identification badge. In an instant, the large door’s surface glistened with cyan light. Then, Caspian walked in. As favonovel.com passed through the door, favonovel.com felt a squeezing sensation, but this feeling disappeared after favonovel.com passed through the door.
